Summary
The dam was designed by the USDA NRCS and serves the primary purpose of debris control along Grasshopper Creek. This earth dam has a height of 24 feet and a hydraulic height of 21 feet, with a length of 590 feet and a storage capacity of 135 acre-feet.
Situated in Brown County, Kansas, Haug Gsd 48 has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. The dam has a moderate risk level, with moderate risk management measures in place. Although the dam does not have a state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, or enforcement, it plays a crucial role in controlling debris and maintaining the integrity of Grasshopper Creek. With a spillway width of 95 feet and a maximum discharge of 246 cfs, Haug Gsd 48 is a key structure in the local water resource management system.
Despite not having a recent inspection or condition assessment, Haug Gsd 48 continues to serve its purpose effectively in debris control along Grasshopper Creek. As a significant structure in the area with a moderate risk level, it is essential for local and state agencies to monitor and maintain the dam to ensure its continued safety and functionality. The earth dam's design by the USDA NRCS reflects a commitment to sustainable water resource management and climate resilience in the region.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
